Ingredients
  

  • Bread of choice, Mira uses sourdough
  • BBQ tofu (olive oil, lemon juice and @nomubrands BBQ rub or make your own refined sugar free spice mix with a combo of Nomu spices: smoked paprika, coriander, cumin, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper
  • Red cabbage mustard kraut

  • Sprouts of choice, Mira used a mix of alfalfa, onion and beetroot
  • Thick tomato slices
  • Vegan mayo

Instructions
 

  • Mix the marinade together for the tofu and allow to marinade for 10-15 minutes. Even better if you do this overnight. Airfry for 6-8 minutes on 200C / alternatively bake or pan fry tofu also works well.
  • Place the fresh rocket leaves onto a slice of sourdough and top with the avo smash, BBQ tofu, tomato slices, mayo, red cabbage mustard kraut and sprouts. Finish with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice, a crack of salt and pepper and top with the final slice of sourdough.

By wrapping the black bean base in sweet potato dough and steaming them like traditional dombolo, he fused global plant-based trends with local heritage.
